Cisco WLCM Deployment for Converged Wireless with Secure Data, Voice, Switching,
and Wireless Functions
The Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) allows users to design, control, and monitor enterprise
wireless networks from a centralized location. The Cisco WCS is an optional network component that
works in conjunction with Cisco APs and Cisco WLCMs.
The Cisco 2700 series location appliance is another optional network component that enhances the
high-accuracy, built-in, Cisco WCS location-tracking abilities by computing, collecting, and storing
historical location data. This data can be displayed in the Cisco WCS. The location appliance acts as a
server to one or more Cisco WCS servers; the location appliance collects, stores, and passes on data from
its associated controllers. For complete information about managing the Cisco WLAN location
appliance, see the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6386/tsd_products_support_series_home.html
Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is supported on Cisco ISR routers. When using PoE, the installer runs a single
CAT-5 cable from each access point to PoE-equipped network elements, such as a PoE-compliant
Cisco EtherSwitch service module on the integrated services router or a Cisco Catalyst 3750 switch with
PoE. When the PoE equipment determines that the access point is PoE-enabled, it sends -48 VDC over
the unused pairs in the Ethernet cable to power the access point.
Connecting Access Points
Access points can be connected to a separate switch or to a Cisco EtherSwitch service module on
Cisco ISRs. The Cisco ISR family supports a range of integrated Cisco EtherSwitch service modules
with 4 to 48 ports supporting PoE.
Note
Only Cisco EtherSwitch service modules support PoE. Cisco Ethernet switch network modules
(NM-16ESW and NMD-36ESW) do not support PoE.

Information About the Cisco WLCM on a Cisco Router
Operating System User Interfaces
The Cisco WLCM and its associated Cisco access points can be concurrently managed by these
operating system user interfaces:
•
Command line interface (CLI)—The CLI is a full-featured but simple text-based, tree-structured
interface that allows up to five users with Telnet-capable terminal emulators to simultaneously
manage all aspects of the Cisco WLCM and associated Cisco access points. You can locally or
remotely configure, monitor, and control individual Cisco WLCMs.
For more information about the CLI and a complete list of features available on the Cisco WLCM,
see the Cisco Wireless LAN Solution Product Guide at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6308/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_lis
t.html
•
Cisco WLCM web GUI—The web user interface is built into each Cisco wireless LAN controller.
The web user interface allows up to five users to simultaneously browse the built-in Cisco wireless
LAN controller http: or https: (http + SSL) web server, configure parameters, and monitor
operational status for the Cisco wireless LAN controller and its associated access points.
Note
We recommend that you enable the https: interfaces and disable the http: interfaces to ensure
stronger security for your Cisco WLAN solution.
Because the web user interface works with one Cisco wireless LAN controller at a time, the web
user interface is especially useful when you wish to configure or monitor a single Cisco wireless
LAN controller and its associated access points that support Lightweight Access Point Protocol
(LWAPP). The web GUI is supported on Internet Explorer, version 6.0 Standard and Enterprise
Editions (SP1) or later.
For complete information about the GUI, see the Cisco Wireless LAN Solution Product Guide at the
following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6308/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_lis
t.html
•
Cisco WCS—The Cisco WCS is the Cisco wireless LAN solution network management tool that
adds to the capabilities of the web user interface and the CLI, moving from individual controllers to
a network of controllers. The Cisco WCS runs on Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Red Hat
Enterprise Linux ES servers.
The Cisco WCS includes the same configuration, performance monitoring, security, fault
management, and accounting options that are used at the Cisco wireless LAN controller level, but
adds a graphical view of multiple controllers and managed access points.
For complete information about the Cisco WCS, see the Cisco Wireless LAN Solution Product Guide
at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6308/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_lis
t.html
The Cisco WLCM, together with Cisco ISRs, supports IPSec security for wireless clients that terminate
on Cisco ISRs through the use of a VPN pass-through on the Cisco WLCM.

Configuring the Cisco Wireless Controller Network Module on a Cisco Router, Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T
How to Configure the Cisco WLCM
Accessing the CLI Through a Console Connection or Through Telnet
Before you can access the Cisco WLCM CLI, you must first use one of these methods to establish a
connection from the host router:
•
Connect to the router console using Telnet or SSH, and open a session to the module using the
service-module integrated-service-engine slot/unit session command in privileged EXEC mode
on the router.
Note
Before you can establish a connection between the router and the Cisco WLCM, you must
configure an IP address on the integrated-service-engine interface on the Cisco WLCM.
Note
When connecting to the router through the console using Telnet or SSH from a client station,
you must have IP connectivity from the client station to the router.
•
Use any Telnet TCP/IP or encrypted SSH package from a remote management station. The router
must have network connectivity with Telnet or SSH allowed from the clients, and must have an
enable or enable secret password configured. After you connect through the CLI, through a Telnet
session, or through a SSH session, the user EXEC prompt appears on the management station.
The Cisco WLCM supports one secure SSH session and up to 5 simultaneous Telnet sessions. Changes
made by one Telnet user are reflected in all other Telnet sessions.
If your Cisco WLCM is already configured, you can directly open a session to the WLCM and configure
it through its CLI.
Understanding Interfaces on the Cisco WLCM
The host router and the Cisco WLCM communicate through the integrated-service-engine interface
connection between the router and the Cisco WLCM.
Note
The Cisco WLCM (NME-AIR-WLC8-K9 and NME-AIR-WLC12-K9) support the
integrated-service-engine command in interface configuration mode. The Cisco WLCM
(NM-AIR-WLC6-K9) supports the wlan-controller command in interface configuration mode. The
interface numbering format on the Cisco WLCM is slot/port.
For more detailed information about interface types on the controller network module, see the
Cisco Wireless LAN Solution Product Guide at the following URL:

How to Configure the Cisco WLCM
Using Interface Configuration Mode
Note
Although the configure interface port interface name port command is available, the software
automatically sets the port value to port 1. Therefore, there is no need to manually configure the port.
The Gigabit Ethernet internal interface on the Cisco WLCM connects internally to the
integrated-service-engine interface 1/0 on the router (if the WLCM is inserted in slot 1 of the router).
The port numbering scheme that you use in interface configuration mode is interface type/slot
number/port number.
•
Type—The interface type interface integrated-service-engine.
•
Slot number—The slot number on the router where the Cisco WLCM is plugged in.
•
Port number—Port number within the Cisco WLCM. For this release, the port number is always 0.

How to Configure the Cisco WLCM
Configuring and Verifying Management and AP Manager Interfaces
You can create any number of static or dynamic logical interfaces on the Cisco WLCM, configured as
VLAN tagged interfaces or untagged interfaces. By default, two static untagged interfaces are assigned
(management interface and ap-manager interface) and used for management and communication with
APs. Because these interfaces are untagged, they must be assigned to the same subnet that is used to
configure the WLCM interface on the router.

Step 4
ping ip-address
Sends a ping from the router to the WLCM management
interface and AP manager interface.
Example:
Router:# ping 192.0.2.25
Configuration Examples for Verifying Management and AP Manager Interfaces
The management interface must have an IP address that can be reached from the workstation that is
managing the interface. The AP manager interface allows the WLCM to communicate with APs.
WLCM> configure interface address management 192.0.2.24 255.255.255.0 192.0.2.254
WLCM> configure interface address ap-manager 192.0.2.25 255.255.255.0 192.0.2.254
The last IP address (192.0.2.254) is the default-gateway IP address for those interfaces and the IP address
of the WLCM interface on the router.

What to Do Next
Proceed to the “Configuring Wide-Area LANs on the Cisco WLCM” section on page 15.
Configuring Wide-Area LANs on the Cisco WLCM
The Cisco WLCM can control up to 16 wireless LANs for access points. Each wireless LAN has a
separate wireless LAN ID (1 through 16) and a separate wireless LAN SSID (wireless LAN name). Each
wireless LAN can be assigned unique security policies.
Note
The Cisco AIR-AP1000 series support 16 SSIDs; however, the Cisco AIR-AP1130 series and the
Cisco AIR-AP1240 series can support only 8 SSIDs.
Note
We recommend that you assign one set of VLANs for wireless LANs and a different set of VLANs for
management interfaces to ensure that controllers properly route VLAN traffic. Configure VLANs on the
integrated-service-engine interface using IEEE 802.1Q trunking encapsulation. The number of VLANs
that are configured on the router integrated-service-engine interface should be equal to the number of
VLAN tags used on the Cisco WLCM.
Native VLAN is not supported on the Cisco WLCM; therefore, the router should not have any functional
native VLANs configured.
For additional information about configuring VLANs on the Cisco WLCM, see the Cisco Wireless LAN
Solution Product Guide at the following URL:

The following example assumes the network module is plugged into slot 1 of the router. The following
are additional assumptions for the example:
•
The WLCM is connected to the router through the interface integrated-service-engine command
1/0 interface.
•
A Layer 2 switch is connected to router onboard Gigabit Ethernet interface g0/0. This switch can be
an external standalone switch or one of the Cisco integrated EtherSwitch HWIC/NM/NME switches.
•
An LWAPP AP is connected to the Layer 2 switch.
•
Wireless client 1 and wireless client 2 are associated with the AP: one in WLAN 15 and the other in
WLAN 16.
Configure a DHCP server on the router to assign an IP address to the AP. Use the dhcp option 43
command to inform the AP contact information of the controller IP address. The following example
shows how to configure a DHCP server to the router, and an IP address to the AP:
Router(config-if)# interface GigabitEthernet0/0

On the router, create two DHCP pools from subnet 15.0.0.0/24 and 16.0.0.0/24, and assign IP address
information to the wireless clients in WLAN 15 and WLAN 16.
Note
DHCP services for clients can also run on the controller, but we recommend running DHCP services on
the router because the controller is not a full-fledged DHCP server and will not pass on such options as
TFTP server required for applications such as Cisco Call Manager Express.
